Line 25:
* [[No Name Given]]: The last Metabaron actually doesn't have a name at all.
* [[Proud Warrior Race]]: The Metabarons.
* [[Sci
* [[Sharing a Body]]: Steelhead shares his body with Krleza the poet. Implanting Krleza's head creates a composite personality that they name Melmoth. Melmoth refers to himself as "I/we," and combines Steelhead's warrior ethos and skills with Krleza's poetic genius and ability to love. Of course, since Steelhead is a Metabaron, this does not end well at all.
* [[Showy Invincible Hero]]: Starting with Aghnar, the Metabarons become godlike in their powers. They are able to win against impossible odds, to the point of [[Refuge in Audacity]], especially when Aghora slaughters an entire ''universe'' in a mirror dimension. The dramatic tension of the series comes largely from the horrible tragedy that continuously befalls the Metabaron clan.
Line 33:
* [[White-Haired Pretty Boy]] / [[White-Haired Pretty Girl]]: All of the Metabarons have long white hair if they have any. Two wives of the Metabarons, Edna and Honorata, also have white hair. Steelhead has white hair after he has the poet Krleza's head implanted on his body.
* [[World of Buxom]]: The planet of Ulkmar-Eight-Moon is a literal example. The females of the local proto-anthropoid species all have huge breasts.
* [[You Kill It, You Bought It]]: Each Metabaron must kill his father in ritual combat to succeed him as the next Metabaron.
* [[You Can't Fight Fate]]: The long-suffering robot Tonto, servant of the Metabarons, specifically says that the Metabarons are fated to never be happy.
